Mn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Dakota/10656 Surname: Hammes ------------------------- I am looking for descendants of Jacob Hammes b1840 His children were Catherine, Elizabeth, Lucy, Mathias, and William. There was a Dr. Hammes in Hampton in early 1900's. Was he possibly Mathias or William from this family. Jacob's parents were John and Elizabeth Hammes. John died in Lakeville, Mn (St. Michael's Church records). Jacob's older brother was Hubert, my great grandfather.
